Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support

Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve

I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The user interface, which we use to create the integration, basically has the data structures collected, is pretty easy to navigate, is a drag and drop style of working, and there is very little code required so the creation of the endpoints is very simple."

"We can develop almost any interface that we need."

"Integrations take less time."

"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."

"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."

"The product's stability is good."

"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management pros

"What I do appreciate about the cloud is the transparent update cycles with minimal downtime, all managed within the cloud environment, which definitely provides a better user experience."

"The product provides all the typical MDM capabilities like deduplication, machine survivorship, and other things."

"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."

"The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."

"Now that we run all the addresses through AddressDoctor, we know what is a deliverable address and what is not, and we see the suggestion list for the addresses which are not deliverable."

"With Informatica technical support has never been a problem; they are fantastic, and if you reach out to them and raise a case, they get onto it very quickly."

"I would definitely recommend Informatica Data Quality to others."

"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."

More Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) pros

Cons

"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."

"The solution must provide more AI services."

"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."

"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."

"The API management has room for improvement."

"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management cons

"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."

"If I compare it with other MDM solutions in the market, one thing that can definitely be improved is automation to help with the configuration. Currently, when we are creating any staging of base object tables, all the columns have to be configured manually in the Informatica Hub Console. A lot of tables and different kinds of business columns have to be configured manually. There should be an automated process for this, especially in the Dev environment. When people are creating tables and columns from scratch, if there is a backend automated process for that, it would be really helpful. In Stibo, a similar feature is there wherein you can tag attributes to certain objects. It would be helpful if Informatica also provides a similar option. It would reduce the manual effort. It could be that such a feature is already there, but I am not aware of it."

"Permissions, scalability, and connection with other informatic tools are the main areas that need development. Integration with other tools, such as IDQ, is challenging. The management of data discovery is highly challenging because many data points have identical definitions."

"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."

"There is room for improvement in the support. The response time could be faster."

"I would like to see support for more data sources."

"Informatica MDM has a complex user interface, which could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."

"The price is reasonable."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."

"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."

"The price of Informatica Cloud Data Integration could be reduced."

"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is famously known for its high price. The vendor targets large enterprises, and not medium or small companies. These large companies, and organizations, handle large amounts of data. If you go into any large bank, such as American or Canadian banks, these banks use this solution because it is more reliable, secure, and has more functionality."

"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."

"Informatica MDM's price could be lower."

"You can purchase licenses for this solution at different intervals. For example, annually or every three years. They recently changed their terms for licensing and now it is more flexible."

"The product has a high price point."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
